Ingredients
Wet:
- 1 cup ripe banana puree (from very ripe, brown-speckled bananas)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry:
- ½ cup blanched almond flour
- ½ cup oat flour
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips or chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 10-cup muffin tin with paper liners. A quick tip: spray the liners with a little oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the banana puree, eggs, honey, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add the almond flour, oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. Don’t overmix—a few lumps are okay!
- Gently fold in your chocolate chips or walnuts.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared liners, filling each about three-quarters of the way.
- Bake for 18-24 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Serving Suggestions: These muffins are amazing on their own, but also great with a pat of butter or a drizzle of extra honey.
Tips & Tricks: Use super ripe bananas for the best flavor. For a vegan version, swap the eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water per egg). You can also use maple syrup instead of honey.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 5. These muffins freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave for 10-15 seconds.
